CLASSPASS* Charge (What It Is + Is It Legit?)

ClassPass uses the truncated descriptor "CLASSPASS*" on bank statements because their billing system follows a common payment processing convention where an asterisk is appended to a shortened merchant identifier, helping payment networks distinguish the subscription service from other transactions while staying within the character limits imposed by card networks like Visa and Mastercard. The asterisk in "CLASSPASS*" often precedes additional text such as a membership tier or transaction date, though this varies depending on your bank's display formatting. If you see this charge for around $49.00 on a monthly basis, it is almost certainly your ClassPass fitness class subscription renewing automatically.

No, this is a legitimate charge from ClassPass. However, if you did not authorize this charge or cancelled your subscription, you may be eligible for a refund.
